Bella's Thesis 2/2

Description

The Pilgrimage Path took shape only in the medieval era, when the ancient Rocos of the Windrest Mountain region had already built a complete religious faith in the Wing King and entered the Semblance Dharma stage. They separated "action" from "intent" and formed rituals, and the rituals were then given many unrelated hopes, ultimately giving birth to a festival called the Holy Feather Festival. On fixed days each year, Rocos would trek up the mountain singing and dancing along a path gentler than the Trial Path. In the earliest teachings, Rocos who reached the summit by the Pilgrimage Path would also be granted a Star Knot by the Wing King, but in fact no one ever received one, so this hope was replaced by the vague notion of being "blessed by the Wing King." To this day, only Faith Village still holds this festival. (machine-translated)
